Ingredients for Oatmeal Raisin Energy Balls
NUT BUTTER – I use almond butter in this recipe. I do not recommend peanut butter as it tends to overwhelm the rest of the flavors. I have not tested it, but cashew butter or SunButter may be another alternative.
SWEETENER – A little bit of honey provides just the right amount of sweetness while keeping this snack refined sugar-free.
ROLLED OATS – Old fashioned rolled oats. If you need this to be gluten free, make sure to check your labels and get certified gluten free.
HEMP SEEDS – These add some extra protein and healthy omegas. I use this brand.
SPICES – Cinnamon, ground ginger, and nutmeg give these energy balls the flavors of an oatmeal cookie.
ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS – Salt and vanilla.
